Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reinforcer is any consequence that strengthens the behavior it follows. It tells the person/animal that the response they gave was correct and worth repeating in the future. It is different from a stimulus, which is any event that elicits a response, and an operant, which is any behavior that operates on the environment to produce a consequence. An acquisitional cue is not directly related to reinforcement, but rather refers to environmental stimuli that facilitate the learning of a new behavior or skill.
